I guess we will hardly ever read about Fedora Documentation on "devel" list and only occasionally see related announcements that affect packagers. I've mentioned other lists before. Those that overlap are troublesome. Cross-posting is troublesome, if it results in replies only on one list. Separate lists that move traffic from somewhere else can be a problem, too. Suddenly, subscribers of a list, such as devel, no longer learn about the topics that have moved elsewhere. Unless they subscribe to the separate list. Adam says that devel is relevant to "*developers* (or rather, packagers)". Yet there is the "packaging" list, too. Quote from Oct 16th: "I don't know whether this belongs to the packaging or devel list," Not even devel-announce is used consistently. Some people post version bump announcements there. If that were done for the entire package collection, forget about the "LOW TRAFFIC" mentioned in the list description. ;) I guess the problem is not fixable with old-school mailing-lists. The thread "Lack of response about sponsorship" could have posted on "fedora-join" list. Who has been aware of that list anyway? https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fedora-join/ It's linked in some places, but has it been announced on "announce" or "devel-announce"? -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
